Nothing but a variation of outsourcing your support to South-east Asian phone farms. If you don't think those insurance claims get a first pass by some clown in Bangladesh, you're high.
They are just one acquisition away from turning evil, without regulation you have no guarantees what so ever.
And regulation solves that? Weird.. The Banking industry is heavily regulated.. You remember 2008?
In fact you don't even know that these services do behind closed doors since they do not have to even disclose it.
Now I know you're a fucktard. DuckDuckGo goes through all the trouble of having an independent auditor go through their system and you can't be bothered to type "DuckDuckGo audit" in Google (or DuckDuckGo)
Fact is, you just want to bitch. You're throwing out shit that has NOT happened (acquisition) as some sort of justification for your opinion. Hell of a lot easier to simply say "I'm a retard who thinks government works in my interest & is honest about what they do. I'll make up scenarios that have not happened so I can claim the AUDITED services are just as bad."
How about "Fuck off?" There's no reasoning with you idiots. If you're gonna use fantasy as a justification.... We cannot speak. I live in the word of "facts".
What a crock of shit. There have been several plans (Yucca Mountain for one) and every goddamn time some tree-hugging fuckers manage to derail it.
The real shame is there's a fuckton of energy left in that waste.. Much of it could be consumed to make power with the right kind of reactor.. but no....
No.. the fact that it hasn't been dealt with isn't the government's fault, mostly. It's the retards that would rather block every plan to permanently store it somewhere "safe" and so we're left with this shit sitting out in the open for 40-50 years..
The leftists in this country are so fucking hypocritical.. I'm watching it play out in real time with solar power. Every fucking plan to build panel arrays in my area is opposed by screaming lefties who don't want that shit anywhere near them. They don't even want to SEE it. Listened to these cunts demand renewables for decades and now they oppose solar farms, windmills (bird-kills), new hydro dams (the fish!), solar concentrators (near Vegas), and even plans to build geothermal plants out near the Salton Sea (some fucking desert tortoise or something). The last one would also produce enormous volumes of Lithium.. and the liberals oppose it.. I don't know how CA ever managed to get their battery storage online.. I'm sure the liberals were freaking out about that too..
The real costs are not being addressed
The costs of nuclear are addressed all the time.
The problem is the nuke fanbois either ignore the costs or hand-wave them away: "Nuclear is only expensive because of protests and regulations. Next time will be different. Blah, blah, blah."
Even without considering the costs of waste and accidents, nuclear costs four times as much as wind or solar and has a 20-year lead time.
Tens of thousands of barrels of toxic waste were dumped near Catalina Island, but the vast majority are non-radioactive chemical waste.
DDT leaking from the barrels is a much bigger problem than nuclear waste and shows up in the local sea lion population.
Anyway, there's nothing realistic that we can do about it since any attempt to retrieve the barrels will likely make things worse.
To be quite clear, I certainly hope none of the aforementioned countries ever resort to hostilities. But, I am curious if you're actually delusional enough to think that all 3 countries combined would present a formidable challenge, were things to ever devolve to that point.
We've paid for our military (via debit, I don't dispute that). But you guys haven't paid for yours at all. That fucking free healthcare you love to wave in our faces was paid for by your neglect to your military. Y'all offloaded that responsibility to us. France to a lesser degree than the UK or Germany (though, Germany wasn't really permitted to spend "big money" on its military - so maybe not its fault)
C'mon.. All 3 countries, combined, have HALF the military manpower of our current active forces (not counting reserve and guard). We've got more carriers than the rest of the world combined....
Point is.. you sound like a clueless moron when you suggest that "all three" would actually be an obstacle. A tough fight, sure.. But, in the end, zero chance of victory on your side..
Again, purely hypothetical I hope. I do not bear ill will towards Europe.. But you don't get to have free healthcare AND a decent military...
There are a number of European search engines. The major problem is that people don't know that they exist.
Okay... That sounds like a Europe problem.. For the record, I think Google sucks and is a bunch of assholes.. But it also seems to me that you folks (assuming you're European) would rather levy fines than address the problem.. You'd rather bend what exists to your will than develop (or promote, I guess) your own alternatives.. I thought the internet was supposed to be the Great Equalizer.. No harder to type www.eurosearch.com into a bar than www.google.com... You just need to let your citizens know it exists.. Or, maybe the real issue is that your offerings suck even worse than Google and nobody wants to use them?
Will it? What about DuckDuckGo? Are the evil? Do they need regulation? What about Brave?
There are easier ways to announce you're a retard. Trust China? Okay.. I get it if you don't trust the US, but what kind of a dick-smoking retard thinks the better alternate is China? Do you fucks read anything? History?
No European search engines to choose from?
Must suck having citizens who are so retarded they can't comprehend using an alternate. Europeans.. too fucking lazy to type other words..
Yeah but Federal regulations override state regulations. Supremacy clause which is what they're relying on.
Not always, fucktard. The Constitution contains plenty of examples of powers that were given to both the states and the feds.
